Hi folks :-)
I bought a new cpu: xeon E3-1243 v3
sensors show me the follow data (normal use):
Physical id 0: +46.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C)
Core 0: +46.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C)
Core 1: +42.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C)
Core 2: +42.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C)
Core 3: +42.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C)
someone can tell me if these data are "normal"? or should better change
heatsink?
thanks for help :)

I do not see that model processor on the Intel specifications web site.
I see E3-1240, -1241, -1245, and -1246, for version v3:

That particular page does not show a temperature rating, but 42 C should
be acceptable. Your listing above shows a high limit of 80 C and a
critical limit of 100 C.
I use Xcfe and the Sensor plug-in to monitor whatever temperatures
and/or voltages are supported on a particular machine. When I put my
Intel processors under load, I have seen temperatures above 70 C. I
would be concerned if any temperature reached 80 C.
Your computer may have an accumulation of dust in the heat sinks, fans,
and/or air ports/ filters. Power down the computer. Disconnect the
electrical cables for all fans. Clean all fans, heat sinks, filters,
grills, etc., with a vacuum cleaner. (The fans will spin, may act as
generators, and could damage your motherboard. This is why I disconnect
them.) Reconnect the fans. Boot the computer. Test.
Another possibility is that the heat sink compound may have dried out.
Power down the computer, remove the processor heat sink and fan
assembly, clean the fan and heat sink with a vacuum cleaner, clean the
heat sink compound off of the CPU and off of the heat sink (a plastic
gift card or credit card works well), clean the mating surfaces again
with rubbing alcohol, apply silver heat sink compound, install heat and
fan, boot, and test.
